Is there a target milestone for a production-ready release of RethinkDB? Is it 1.8 or 1.9?

1.0 is supposed to mean production-ready. Are you suggesting this should be a 0.7 release?

Under semver (which isn't the only versioning scheme, but certainly among the more common of the ones that have a firm definition of what 1.0 means), it means "stable API", which doesn't necessarily mean "production ready".

Version numbers don't have on single universally accepted set of defined semantics.

If I remember correctly, the RethinkDB team opted to match their in-house version numbers with public releases. So the 1.x releases would be more comparable to 0.x releases for other projects, and 2.0 would be considered stable and production ready.

slava @ rethink -- this is exactly right. Sorry for confusion.

This is similar to node.js versioning, I think.
